Athalie Russell apologises Dear Dr Albrecht I am appalled that the canola letter, which I wrote with such stupid innocence, is doing the rounds again TEN YEARS LATER. And with a fake job description and contact details for me! Who would do this? Why??? I am trying to get myself off Google because people are finding me there and I am being endlessly harassed (as I am sure you are). I just want you to know that I have no connection with this fraud, am dismayed by it, and very much regret that someone malicious has resurrected it. My sincere apologies. Athalie

Conclusion 1 Canola oil is an excellent and healthy product that the public can use with confidence. CANSA endorses Canola oil because it has a good omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 2 to 1 and a significant concentration (11-12%) of omega-3 fatty acid which is known to counteract inflammation which is now known to be associated with carcinogenesis (cancer forming process).

31
Conclusion 2 The attack(s) on Canola oil since 2000 are devoid of any facts and border on insanity especially where it is claimed that deadly Mustard gas was made from Canola oil which also causes Mad Cow disease. There is absolutely no scientific evidence anywhere that Canola oil is in any way poisonous. It is not unreasonable to assume that these attacks are a form of industrial sabotage and the public is urged to delete these s and not perpetuate them by sending them further. This nonsense must now come to and end.
